Disclosed embodiments include alignment apparatuses for circuit boards, inverter assemblies, and methods for fabricating an assembly with a circuit board placed on an alignment apparatus. An illustrative apparatus includes an electrically insulative substrate having a first substantially planar surface and a second substantially planar surface forming an opposing side of the first substantially planar surface. The second substantially planar surface defines therein self-aligning features that are configured to align at least one power module pin with the electrically insulative substrate. The first substantially planar surface has at least one alignment feature configured to align a printed circuit board with the electrically insulative substrate. The apparatus also includes a routing feature coupled to the electrically insulative substrate. The routing feature is configured to route at least one low voltage conductor.

Inverter insulator apparatus and method

Various disclosed embodiments include a switching module for a charger includes a support member, a first busbar coupled to the support member, the first busbar being configured to conduct electrical current, and a second busbar coupled to the support member, the second busbar being configured to conduct electrical current. The switching module also includes a first switch coupled to the first busbar and configured to move a first contactor. The switching module further includes a second switch coupled to the second busbar and configured to move a second contactor. The switching module also includes a third switch coupled to the first busbar and configured to move a third contactor. Further, the switching module includes a fourth switch coupled to the second busbar and configured to move a fourth contactor, the third and fourth switches being configured to electrically connect and disconnect the first and second busbar with at least a second power dispenser.
